"Some of the recommendations, I wouldn't recommend. I personally have seen a set of batteries destroyed in 18 months by the "plug it in every time you use it""
Destroyed by what? ...1000 other carts used the exact same way never see this failure. Are you saying in these failure instances the charger failed and destroyed the batteries?
"If you drive it down the street and back, don't plug it in, your doing more harm than good"
How exactly does it harm it?
If you charge your batteries on a regular basis, you don't have sulfation, its as simple as that
Define "Regular Basis". That term is meaningless.
Sulfation occurs as a natural chemical process when a lead-acid battery is discharged. To reverse sulfation, you have to charge your batteries full.
The debate will never end because of nonscientific notions espoused by those who are just plain wrong. There is really no debate...there is just exact science and math. Lead-acid batteries have been around for 160 years and to be an expert on them is not that difficult. Wikipedia "lead-acid battery" if you want to jog your high school math and chemistry.
